A road, created by the elves, which led south from Stormy Point<\/a> that is first described in Weirdstone, Chapter 4: The Fundindelve<\/em>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Cadellin took the children from Stormy Point along a broad track that cut straight through the wood as far as the open fields, where it turned sharply to twist along the meadow border skirting the woodland. This, the wizard said, was once an elf-road, and some of the old magic still lingered. Svarts would not set foot on it, and the morthbrood would do so only if hard-pressed, and then they could not bear to walk there for long. He told the children to use this road if they had need to visit him, and not to stray from it: for parts of the wood were evil, and very dangerous.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To the south of Goldenstone<\/a> it is a mettled track (pictured above), to to the north the road exists as a tree-lined footpath up to Stormy Point<\/a>. The section between Goldenstone and Stormy Point was the latter part of the journey<\/a> taken by the farmer and the wizard in The Legend of Alderley<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Gomrath, Chapter 14: The Wild Hunt<\/em> Uthecar and Susan journeyed back from the Dale of Goyt to Fundindelve and resorted to the elf road in a bid to escape the Morrigan. When they reached Goldenstone<\/a> the Morrigan hurled a hex at them that cleaved the boundary marker in two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
